Currently, Germany has 1,914 hospitals where 19.4 million inpatients and about 21 million outpatients are treated annually.
German hospitals offer a first-class standard of patient care. Highly qualified doctors accompany patient treatment. The medical achievements of German healthcare are recognized at a high international level.
Good state funding of this sector makes work in the healthcare system prestigious. So how do you choose a good clinic?
Munich has:
Can be managed through joint-stock companies or be private.
Protestant and Catholic communities previously actively opened their clinics for parishioners to provide not only medical care but also maximum human support. Today, church clinics have both high-tech equipment and qualified specialists. The clinics are smaller than state ones, but provide quality treatment and diagnostics for a wide range of diseases.
The main advantage of university hospitals is their multi-profile nature and extensive experience in treating the corresponding group of diseases, as well as good equipment with specific equipment. University hospitals have the ability for deep diagnostics and the most modern treatment, including through clinical research on new types of treatment. If you have a systemic or chronic disease, this is the best choice where you can get consultations from different specialists in one place. A big advantage of the clinic is the ability to quickly organize and receive the full range of services: take tests, undergo examinations and immediately return to the doctor for a diagnosis and treatment recommendations. This is only possible in a large institution with a complete set of diagnostic equipment.
A university hospital is often a large "medical city" within a city. When treated in a large clinic, there are complaints about service caused by waiting for a doctor's appointment, since university hospitals can shift all planned activities without explanation in case of urgent patients.
The service component concerning the stay in the clinic, care and communication with the patient is criticized even by Munich residents themselves.
Municipal clinics that are joint-stock companies also provide a wide range of medical services. If the clinic is private, the service component is usually good. You will be accepted strictly on schedule, and when staying in the hospital, you can be provided with additional service. Such clinics can be both multi-profile and specialized in treating one disease. The level of treatment according to German medical standards is always high.
When getting treatment in a specialized practice, you need to understand that doctors who previously gained tremendous experience in managing patients in specialized departments of university hospitals work there. As a rule, these are professors or doctors with scientific achievements who plan to implement them in their clinic. Such doctors have a special permit from the German Ministry of Health for frequent practice.
According to large-scale rating research compiling the TOP clinics, patients in Munich are more satisfied with their clinics than in any city in Germany. In Munich itself, more than half of the clinics have a particularly good rating. In Bavaria, every second clinic is on the TOP list.
The result of rating research can be summarized as follows: Bavaria is good, Munich is magnificent.
As for treatment prices, you need to understand that in any German clinic, when treating foreign patients, there are special DRG and GÖA coefficients to evaluate the cost of therapy. The use of higher base rates approved at the clinic gives clinics additional income. (More in the "Prices" section). Therefore, many German clinics are interested in attracting foreign patients.
Treatment at a university hospital coefficient can be much higher than that of a private practicing doctor.
Clinics also provide a service for choosing treatment by the chief physician.
